  • Methods and systems for improving utilization of high-speed time division multiplexed communications links at signal transfer point
    Patent number: 7468988
    Abstract: A multi-port link interface capable of high-speed time division multiplexed communications at a signal transfer point is disclosed. In one implementation, the multi-port link interface module is located in the signal transfer point, terminates two or more high-speed TDM links and generates internal data. Data received on one high-speed communications link is combined with the internal data used to fill outbound timeslots in an outgoing high-speed link. The data may include signaling data, bearer data, or signaling and bearer data.
    Type: Grant

  • Methods and systems for accessing peg count information generated by signaling gateway or signal transfer point
    Patent number: 7054422
    Abstract: A routing node (100) includes a usage measurements module (134) for polling internal processing modules (106) and communication link modules (102, 104, and 106) for usage measurements collected by these modules and forwarding the usage measurements to a general-purpose computing platform (136) via a high speed communication link (138). The usage measurements module (134) may include load sharing functionality that allows distribution of usage measurements collection among multiple usage measurements modules. The usage measurements module (134) may also include a reports generator for generating user-configurable reports.
